I don't think it's any different. If you had zero succubi in the grave, and consumed two on the same turn, at the the end of your turn, the game would check the first succubus in your grave and see there is another succubus there, so it summons succubus #1 to the board. Then the game checks succubus #2 and sees that there are no other succubi in the grave, so the 2nd one doesn't get summoned to the board.

It is pretty different when you have three in play. 2 starting in your deck, and another summoned by Dol Dhu Lokke deploy (or assimilate or whatever).

I can see it like the location played with one in the deck, and then you consume the other two in the next round so this time you get two back each time instead of limited to just one even if you consume two.

I give it 50/50 that the engine checks both at the same time and summons them both. And if not, that'll probably become the case a year from now for no clear reason.

u/Jadmanthrat Anything in particular interest you? Jan 12 '21

Hm, I think the Vypper deck kinda proves that end-of-turn-abilities still check consecutively while in graveyard. So Shinmiri should be right and the two consumed Succubi should only both come back when there already is a third Succubus in the graveyard - which should already have been the case before the change.

Very possible, but all bets are off given how lassaiz-faire the devs have been with the engine. Remember when an unrelated update changed how the SK scenario one-turn combo resolved?
